Bootcamp for the mind & soul

​Do you ever spend time with people and come away feeling absolutely exhausted?

You know the people I mean... the constant complainers, the moaners, the people who seem to think life is out to get them. These people are called Energy Vampires, because they suck your energy dry. In effect, they feed off our own energy.

Spending time with an energy vampire can lead us to feel depleted, worn-out, tired, sad, anxious, depressed…. and emotionally exhausted. And, feeling emotionally exhausted can and will impact our own mindset and productivity.

Some energy vampires are obvious – they are the narcissists, the bullies and the megalomaniacs. Others are not so obvious – they can be our friends, family or colleagues who we legitimately want to help, and whom we assume want out help….

Watch this week’s video to gain an understanding on how to identify and deal with energy vampires:

The key points that I want you to take from this week’s video are this:

You do not need to feel guilty or feel like a bad person by not spending time with an energy vampire.

You cannot help or change an energy vampire.

You are the sum of the people you spend time with. If you spend time with energy vampires, you will become negative. If you spend time with empowering, positive people, you will become positive yourself.

Do not allow energy vampires to rent space in your mind – raise the rent and kick them out!
